Poker Pavilion = Poker Tent

With the largest field so far of the multiple Day Ones, this is the first time that the Amazon Room has been packed to capacity with ten players at each table.

In fact, there are eight tables that are starting out in the "Poker Pavilion" (that's corporate speak for "poker tent"). The poker tent is a bit warmer than the Amazon Room, but the temperature is still comfortable. (If it were packed full of players, it would probably be a different story.) There is also a faint stale odor, but those eight tables are at the top of the breaking order. We expect them to break first before the first break.

The most notable player starting the day in the tent is T.J. Cloutier. If he ever wanted to try a Rodney Dangerfield impersonation, now would be a good time.
